Subject: Now I see why this book is hard to find
Mr Bogdonavich's death earlier this year passed me by without much notice at all. I was thinking about the Dorothy Stratton story and went looking for
...
Peter's book, which I could not find. Not for sale and not in any torrents. A Google search brought up the archive.org copy and I waited a couple months before it was available. Dove in on my computer.
This is something Peter wrote after he had learned details of Dorothy's life and murder. He wrote it full of emotion and anger, and blamed all the other men who had taken advantage of Dorothy. He writes as though he had insight into her private thoughts and only HE knew what she was thinking. This book creeps me the eff out! Peter was just as bad as Hefner and Snider and all the others, turning this young lady into their own fantasies. He even calls her a unicorn. It is so sleazy.
I imagine a couple years after he wrote this, Peter read it again and was horrified by what he had written. And it has mostly disappeared, though since Peter died in January it is likely to be republished.
I also took a peek through Google at Dorothy Stratton's Playboy nudes. She is nowhere as pretty as these men say she is. She was tall, conventionally thin, and she had huge breasts. Which is what made her Playboy material. She deserved nothing that happened to her. She was a victim of horrible people.
The Killing of the Unicorn wasn't her final victimization, though. Peter later married her little sister.

A very good book. A lot of misguided blame here is put upon Hefner, in my honest opinion. Paul Snider murdered Dorothy, plain and simple. She chose to
...
meet him alone despite her mother and and others warning her to stay away from him, let lawyers do the negotiating. If only she would have listened!

I loved this book. After discovering her story on 20/20 ID which broke my heart. I began researching her and learning more about her, came across the book
...
and read the whole thing immediately which brought me to tears. Such a sad case and a beautiful angel taken way too soon (my same age 20!) by a jealous and selfish man who never deserved her to begin with. Thankful for Peter writing this for all who loved Dorothy.
